TigerBeetle is interesting because even though something like TigerStyle is unusual for a database, it is very much at home for embedded systems.

In fact we could summarize TigerBeetle as "the financial database developed like embedded software". Determinism is a cornerstone of critical software like in avionics, and naturally, dynamic allocation is forbidden, as in TigerStyle.

So even though it is not obvious, TigerBeetle represents one of Zig biggest strengths: embedded systems.
